Scoping study of sustainable weed management in tea tree oil plantations

This project for the tea tree oil industry (TTO) undertakes a comprehensive literature review of weed management in Melaleuca production and similar perennial farming systems, including innovative practices. It will consult widely with tea tree oil producers and industry experts in the two main production regions (Northern Rivers, NSW; Atherton Tablelands, Qld), with herbicide companies and with the APVMA. The key outcome will be provision of a clear direction for future research and TTO producer education activities regarding weed management.
